The underlined verbs in the passage can be turned from active into passive as follows:

1. The unknown man is being kept by the South Police Department. (11)
In this sentence, the subject "South Police Department" becomes the subject in the passive voice, and the verb "are keeping" is changed to "is being kept" to maintain the same tense.

2. The City Art Gallery had been intruded into last night before the alarm system was switched on. (12)
Here, the subject "City Art Gallery" becomes the subject in the passive voice, and the verb "had intruded" is changed to "had been intruded into" to keep the tense consistent. Additionally, the verb "switched on" is changed to "was switched on" in the passive form.

3. The back entrance door was opened with a key when the night guards were checking the front door video cameras. (13)
In this sentence, the subject "back entrance door" becomes the subject in the passive voice, and the verb "opened" is changed to "was opened" to maintain the same tense. The verb "were checking" remains unchanged.

4. Nothing was noticed by the night guards at first. (14)
Here, the subject "night guards" becomes the subject in the passive voice, and the verb "noticed" is changed to "was noticed" to keep the tense consistent.

5. The back door was found opened and the alarm was raised by one of the night guards. (15)
In this sentence, the subject "back door" becomes the subject in the passive voice, and the verb "found" is changed to "was found" to maintain the same tense. The verb "opened" remains unchanged.

6. All the building was searched and a man was found in the staff room by the guards. (16)
Here, the subject "building" becomes the subject in the passive voice, and the verb "searched" is changed to "was searched" to keep the tense consistent. The verb "found" remains unchanged.

7. The police representative has just informed us that the man has been arrested, but he cannot be identified. (18)
In this sentence, the subject "man" becomes the subject in the passive voice, and the verb "arrested" is changed to "has been arrested" to maintain the same tense. The verb "cannot identify" remains unchanged.

8. Right now, his photo will be shown. If he is recognized, please dial the number you see on the screen. (19)
Here, the subject "photo" becomes the subject in the passive voice, and the verb "shown" is changed to "will be shown" to keep the tense consistent. The verb "is recognized" remains unchanged.

By turning these verbs into the passive voice, we shift the focus of the sentence from the doer of the action (subject) to the receiver of the action. This can change the overall tone and emphasis of the sentence.
